-### Description
-
-The function `mg_get_var()` returns the value of a variable which is passed to the server with either a POST method, or as a parameter in the URI of a GET call. The data pointer passed to the function points to a form-URI encoded buffer. This can either be POST data or the `request_info.query_string`. The name of the searched variable and a buffer to store the results are also parameters to the function.
-
-The function either returns the length of the variable when successful, **`-1`** if the variable could not be found and **`-2`** if the destination buffer is NULL, has size zero or is too small to store the resulting variable value.
